NetworkManagerDispatcher runs scripts in
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d when interfaces go up and down.
See 'man NetworkManagerDispatcher' for details.  If NM is off,
I doubt if NMDispatcher does anything at all.

I don't think NM supports static IP in F8.  I don't know if it does
in rawhide or not, but I know that is a planned feature.
